Things To Consider When Leasing An Apartment To Avoid Eviction

byAlma Abell

Generally Being Unlawful

Many leases will contain language that refers to general unlawfulness. This can encompass many different illegal activities, but usually specifically encompasses drug use and drug dealing. Both are almost sure fired ways to be evicted from your apartment. If your apartment complex is looking for a reason to evict you, being unlawful gives them the ability to evict you under many typical lease agreements.

Smells

If a smell is emanating from your apartment to the point that it is causing disturbances with your neighbors, you can expect to receive warnings, followed by an eviction notice if you are unable to take care of the smell in a manner that rectifies disagreements with other tenants in the building. Whether it is a result of animals in your apartment, general uncleanliness, or any other reason. Try to keep your place smelling as good as possible to avoid these types of disputes with neighbors.

Unannounced Residents In Your Apartment

Although most apartments agree to be fairly flexible with individuals that stay for a short amount of time in your apartment to account for significant others and family members that may stay there for a few days. However, if they find that you have had individuals staying in your apartment for an extended period of time that are not on the lease, this could potentially lead to your eviction. This not only puts the apartment in a predicament, but leaves you liable for any damage done by those that stay in your apartment.

Making Changes

In most case, you are not allowed to remodel or make widespread sweeping changes to the decor in your apartment. This means that you should speak with your apartment management before making any large-scale changes to the interior of your space. There are some things such as painting walls that are generally permitted in any apartment complex.

The enforcement of these policies depends on, and will vary from one apartment to another. The best thing that you can do is to familiarize yourself with your lease agreement so that you are not taken off guard by any evictions or other problems with management.
